Microbial iron transport via a siderophore shuttle: A membrane ion transport paradigm

A mechanism of ion transport across membranes is reported. Microbial transport of Fe(3+) generally delivers iron, a growth-limiting nutrient, to cells via highly specific siderophore-mediated transport systems. In contrast, iron transport in the fresh water bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila is found to...
